I am not a born orphan but became an orphan when I lost my mother and father in consecutive years when I was in my 9th standard and ssc.I was Devaruppal Mandal, Warangal Dt. first in SSC with 85%.Then I was offered free education in a near by town for my Intermediate. I secured distinction with 85%.

Then the real struggle started as I did not have any support. Then, I decided that I should do some work for my living and if possible continue my studies.Without much late I reached the Bhagyanagaram and luckily got a job in Vartha News paper office and could manage my requirements. But,the desire for higher studies was not moving an inch. I was frustrated, lost confidence and became some what pessimistic.

One fine day I was travelling in a bus towards LB Nagar, then I happened to see the Sign Board of This temple "AnadhaVidyarthi Griha"and with out late I got down and contacted the AVG General Secretary Rajesh Garu who took my interview along with some other Committee Members.Looking at my profile and interest in studies they gave me admission in to the AVG.

Now, I am into B.SC(MPC) studying hard and happy to say that I regained my confidence and the lost spark in me as I am able to go with the group of people who are in the same boat in which I am travelling.AVG taught me how to manage one's own self as we are the persons who manage everything in AVG. Here I learnt how to move and behave with a group of inmates and solve issues.Every thing is transparent in AVG and is definitely an "Orphanage With a Difference".I am thankful to the AVG and the dedicated Committee.

I specially want to mention Rajesh gaari name as he is the person who is giving the continious support to us..Thank You Sir!

Saida Rao :

I was an Intermediate discountinued student and education became a burden for the family.After two years of waiting Icame to know about this AVG in a news paper notification and with out delay I applied and got selected on the basis of my family background condition and with my ineterest in studies.

I can say one thing that I am very lucky to be a part of AVG family.The people are very good, the process is perfect and more over every thing is transparent. I have been staying here since 4 years and I can say very much confidently that not even a single penny is misused.we follow an unique process of managing ourselves with the process laid down by our honourable Committee.

I thank AVG and it's committee members from my bottom of the heart for giving this opportunity...Thank You AVG.

Dear Well Wisher,Please accept our SEASONS GREETINGS TO YOU AND TO ALL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS.

We have great pleasure in introducing ourselves as AVG – AN ORPHANAGE WITH A DIFFERENCE, Supporting the cause of the orphans and the poor students since 1919.

BRIEF HISTORY: Our AVG - ANADHA VIDYARTHI GRIHA was founded in 1919 by late Sri Ambadas Mukhedkar an Advocate and a philanthropist and later registered in 1952. He offered free accommodation at Sunder Bhavan, Jambagh, Hyderabad, to the deserving orphans and poor students. Dr ( late ) Vasudev Naik, the then Dy. Speaker of A.P. Legislative Council was our Honorary President. It is pertinent to mention here, to think how our previous managements must have made struggles, and sacrifices to march ahead with paucity of Manpower, finance to organise AVG with commitment.

Today AVG stands as one of the OLDEST Organizations, having students from all over A.P irrespective of Caste, Creed, Community, Religion or Region offering all facilities to inmates.

AVG – AN ORPHANAGE WITH A DIFFERENCE

There is NO WARDEN, CARETAKER, COOK etc., All our Inmates have learnt to manage maintaining the Accounts, Kitchen, Studies, Planning Budgetting, Inter Personal Relations, Purchases and all other day-to-day needs of inmates. The President, General Secretary along with the host of Managing Committee Members, Advisory Board will guide the administration of the inmates. All our meeting expenses are borne by the Committee Members only, by rotation and no expense is made to the Hostelaccounts. There is no single incident of misuse or abuse any in area viz funds management, discipline, performance or behaviour.

Today, AVG is acknowledged as the only organization in AP striving to rehabilitate orphans, poor and deserving students who have the burning desire to pursue their higher studies after SSC.

SKY IS THE LIMIT for such students at AVG.

We admit students from 10 plus, as we feel they need society’s care lest they may abandon studies and reconcile to petty jobs while a prospective career is waiting for them at AVG to pursue higher studies.

HOW DO WE MANAGE AVG.We do not receive any funds from any Govt agencies viz State/Central/NRI Organizations.

All our strength is - more than 1400 salaried employees and Well Wishers who contribute every month Rs 10 to 100, which will be collected and accounted for by the inmates themselves.

This apart we do receive visitors and Well Wishers who celebrate their dear ones, Birthdays, Marriage Anniversaries etc., at AVG with our inmates and support our efforts.

There is absolute TRANSPARENCY in Accounting, Spending, Decision making and admissions too. All the account books of AVG are kept open for any verification by visitors.

ADMISSIONS INTO AVG

A pragmatic and transparent method is followed in admitting inmates to AVG. Applications are called for from Orphans and Poor students in A.P through print and electronic media and putting up notices in all colleges.

After scrutiny of applications received, candidates are short listed. The screening committee, which is nominated by our Managing Committee, will select the inmates. The Screening Committee comprises of Academicians, Doctorates, Philanthropists who are totally dedicated and committed to the Cause of Helping the needy. We have inmates from all over A.P with different brought ups, no means to study, belonging to different Castes, Community, Region and Religion.

But they have one common factor i.e., their burning desire to reach their goal to pursue higher studies.

We owe our gratitude, to various college managements who are always kind enough to admit our inmates free of all charges.

Reciprocating this gesture all our inmates also perform extraordinarily well.Time and History stand up to the results and performance of AVG inmates.

AVG’ s vision is to provide education with an approach of SKY IS THE LIMIT to all the deserving inmates who are determined, to stand up and to prove to the world that they are second to none, and can be successful persons in all parameters if timely support is given to them.

These orphans have a world of their own and their world is part of our society. We must meet their aspirations and goals. AVG, takes all steps, with care, concern and affection, to be a part of our family like other children get from their parents. We desire they should carry best memories of their stay to last their life time.

We desire to construct a building of our own and dedicate the same to the society. This will enable us to embrace many more orphans who need help to stay and pursue their education in Hyderabad

A VERY SPECIAL APPEAL : We have been doing our best in meeting the needs of the needy all these years. AVG has been a vibrant live wire to our inmates to open up windows and new vistas to earn their rightful place in the road map of their career.

Introduction:

AVG(Anadha Vidyarthi Griha) is striving to rehabilitate the orphans and poor students to give a helping hand to study so long they want and to become the responsible citizens of our society.

Brief History:

Anadha Vidyarthi Griha, located on the outskirts of the city in putting up a valiant fight to regain its lost glory. The orphanage was established in 1919 by Ambadas Mukhedkar, an advocate. This institution was registered under the Societies Act in 1952 with the Nizam's Government and later Accorded Recognition as Charitable institution by the State Government. housed at Sunder Bhavan in Jambagh area in the heart of the city, it functioned successfully till Ambadas died in 1974.

His death came as a big blow to the inmates and they were left orphaned for second time. Driven to the wall, they sought the intervention of the court and the struggle for survival lasted nearly Seven Years. Finally, in 1982, they lost the legal battle and the building now worth about Rs.5 crores was demolished.

Our LOGO doesn't involve any imagination. lt has a real story behind it. It's about the boy we are visualizing in the middle of the logo. The boy is not created by any artist but is a real life Orphan who was rescued by AVG.

A decade ago, a Boy from UPPAL AREA in Hyderabad who was not a born orphan but became an orphan because of a tragic incident happened to his family. The Boy had Parents just like any other school going child. Unfortunately, One day he lost his parents before his eyes in a brutal fire accident. All of a sudden he became an orphan who doesn't know any thing about the real world.Then AVG gave its helping hand to that child. He was given boarding, lodging and also he was joined in a school for his education. So the Orphan got a new mother in the form of AVG.

That boy has been taken as the symbol of AVG for whom support in the form of hands and also a proper education through which he can enlighten himself in the current world. That is what is there in our Logo.
